The checked motif was first seen in the lining of <b>Burberry</b>&#39;s iconic trench coats in the 1920s, and has since become a hallmark of the British brand, nodding to its legacy of timeless design. Adorning the Dawny <b>dress</b>, it lends this petite and practical piece a sense of archival heritage. Cut to a pinafore silhouette with a box pleat skirt, it also has a zip-up back for easy changing.
